The next morning, Damien pulled up at the Gee Spot. He refused to be chauffeured around, preferring to drive himself, but Rosalind always arranged for someone to park his car. The valet was waiting, but Damien didn’t get out of the car right away. In spite of his resolve that he wouldn’t act on his attraction to Geena, he’d dreamed about her. He’d kept imagining he could feel her lips against his and her body pressing into his hands.

If he were honest, the feeling he got when he was around her had influenced his decision to spend more time at The Gee Spot. But he shouldn’t have let himself give in to it. Personal encounters for men with his kind of money weren’t as simple as they were for most people. The only people he really trusted were friends like Zac, who he’d known forever.

He picked up his phone and dialed the investigator he’d used a few times before.

“Mr. Courtney,” Magnum answered.

Every time they spoke, Damien wondered if he’d been born with the name Magnum, or if he’d changed it when he became a private investigator. An homage to the private investigator from that TV show from the seventies, perhaps? One day he’d ask.

“I need you to do a background check for me. A woman called Geena Dennis. She owns an adult store in King’s Cross.”

“Got it,” said Magnum. “I’ll email you the results.”

Damien threw his keys to the valet and strode towards The Gee Spot. A couple of homeless men were huddled in a doorway. One of them was scratching his arm — the determined, ruthless scratching of a junkie whose skin wouldn’t stop crawling. He had a vicious scar across one cheek, as though someone had slashed his face. Both men glared at Damien, and the man with the scar let out a low growl as he walked past.

Damien resisted the urge to growl back. Geena might be oblivious to the danger, but everything about King’s Cross set Damien on edge. Only a few blocks away, the patch of land where the Kingston Boarding House had stood was sprouting weeds. Good riddance to it.

He pushed open the door and the now-familiar bell sounded. Geena was at one of the shelves, petting the cat he’d seen upstairs the day before. The vicious creature was curled in an empty space between boxes of vibrators, purring as she stroked it.

Geena turned from the cat to greet him. She had on an old-fashioned cream dress, the kind he’d seen women wearing in old black-and-white TV shows. It was a snug fit, with a small belt cinching her waist, and a long, tight skirt. Her pink hair was swept back from her face with barrettes that matched her dress, and her lips were slicked with something that made them shine like strawberry ice cream. She looked delicately beautiful and utterly vulnerable. Perhaps it was the dress that made her seem fragile by accentuating her slight build. Or maybe it was because he’d seen the men outside.
